What a Whirlpool Washer Technician Deals With
High-efficiency Whirlpool washers need HE detergent only, because excess suds can stop the pump from draining and the drum from spinning. Source: Whirlpool - HE Detergent use in a Washer
The drain hose must run to a standpipe between 30 and 96 inches tall, since a higher drain can let water flow back into the washer. Source: Whirlpool - Top Load Washer not Draining, not Spinning, and/or Leaving Wet Loads
Common Whirlpool Washer Problems
